Naughty Dog has just confirmed that The Last Of Us Part 2– Remastered is coming to PlayStation 5 on January 19th 2024.
You Don’t Get To Rush This
In 2013, The Last Of Us was released, and I can’t think of an award it didn’t win. Not only for gameplay, awards for voice actors, writers, sound design, and not to mention a ton of Game of The Year Awards.
What Is The Story of The Last of Us?
The United States is hit by a mutant Cordyceps fungus outbreak in 2013, which transformed the infected humans into aggressive creatures. In Austin, Texas, Joel, along with his brother Tommy and daughter Sarah, tries to escape the chaos. However, during their escape, a soldier shoots Sarah, causing her death in Joel’s arms.
After twenty years, the infection has destroyed civilization. Joel and his partner, Tess, are smugglers in a quarantine zone in Boston, Massachusetts. They track down Robert, a black-market dealer, to recover a stolen weapons cache. Before Tess can kill him, Robert reveals that he traded the cache with the Fireflies, a rebel militia that opposes the quarantine zone authorities. The Fireflies’ leader, Marlene, promises to double their cache in exchange for smuggling a teenage girl, Ellie, to Fireflies hiding in the Massachusetts State House.
